Thank you for your invaluable contribution as representatives on the LMU or DOA Board! One
of the obligations of board representation is participation on one of our standing committees:
Clean & Safe, Marketing & Branding, and Joint Organization (Executive). If you are not
currently participating on the committee level, we ask that you choose one that is of interest to
you. Joint Organization Committee participation by officers of the board counts towards that
requirement.

Below is information on the purpose of each committee:

Marketing & Branding (Committee Chair: Kim Bardakian) - promote the identity of the
districts, encourage economic development, and create a vibrant downtown through public
relations, marketing, and special events.

Clean & Safe (Committee Chair: Mike Guerra) - responsible for all beautification projects, as
well as the implementation of our Clean and Safe program. With the help of the Program
Director, this committee oversees all service providers and employees involved in the
maintenance and improvement of the public rights of way.

Joint ORG (Executive) - oversee general administrative functions to ensure effective

operations of the board and to act as the coordinating framework through which the other
committees function effectively.

We understand and acknowledge that participation and engagement outside of meetings can be
just as or even more impactful than attending standing committee meetings and we thank those
of you that work with staff to advance and support critical district initiatives. Staff will be reaching
out to each of you individually to continue this conversation and make recommendations, as to
which committee would be the best fit, based on skill set and need. We look forward to ending
2022 strong and with deeper engagement and connection with all of you.

Cost of Services in Hours and Dollars

Illegal Dumping: June = 431: 4.6 hours a day or 144 hours per month (estimated time 20 minutes per)
$185 per day x 30 = $5,721 per month

Power Washing: Overnight and Day Shift Combined: June = 1,752: 18.8 hours per 24 hour period (estimated time
20 minutes per
$837 per day x 30 = $25,941 per month

Hazardous Waste Clean-up: June = 5,131 incidences: 13.8 hours a day or 428 hours per month (estimated
clean/sanitize time 5 minutes per
$549 per day x 30 = $17,026 per month

Graffiti: June = 7,886: 42.4 hours a day or 1,314 hours per month (estimated time average 10 minutes)
$1,688 per day x 30 = $52,337 per month

Accomplishments
1. Over 57,075 pounds of trash (just under 1 ton per day) were removed from the District in June. This is the 5th
MOM increase (average daily pounds). Increased trash removal was driven by event cleanup, special projects and
increased activity in the District.

2. Hazardous Waste Clean-up was up 1% MOM. Increased activity by businesses (nightlife), residents and the
unsheltered continued the 2022 trend of bustle in the District.

3. Power Washing was up slightly with a 66% increase over June. New power washing ambassadors along with
better maintenance request management are the main reasons for the increased performance.

4. Illegal Dumping was up again after a slight decline in May. Our attention to recording illegal dumping is most
likely cause as opposed to an actual increase in incidents.

5. Graffiti Removal was up by 16% MOM, on top of the large increase in June. A rotation in ambassadors
performing the removal along with better maintenance request management account for most of the improved
performance.

Safety Ambassador Highlights - June 2022
Accomplishments & Challenges

1. The Safety team led by Team Lead Mactar Dia helped in the apprehension of a suspect starting multiple fires.
The team was able to follow and report to OPD the suspects description and location as he moved through the
district. The surveillance also prevented the suspect from starting more trash can fires.

2. Safety Ambassadors were dedicated to Pablo’s Market Lunch & Listen and Happy Hour each Tuesday afternoon
and Thursday evening. They provided 28 hours of service for the events in June.

3. Safety Ambassadors provided service to three VIP Tours for the district’s property owner. Their presence helped
ensure a positive perception of the Uptown Downtown CBD organization and the overall safety of the district.

4. Ambassadors performed 6,766 Business Contact and Hospitality Engagement in June. Down from May due to
employee illness and separation.

1. There was 3 reported Shootings in June. An increase over May but less that the year high in April of 5
shootings.

2. Illegal Parking had a dramatic decrease from May to June. An increase in ‘reasonable’ illegal parking due to
construction and workers led to a decrease in reporting. Illegal Parking continues to be highest around the 13th
Street Commons, 15th Street and F.O.P. Ambassadors are reporting these incidents to the appropriate city
officials.

3. Actual Auto Break Ins were back down in June, from the YTD high in April. Broken Auto Glass was down slightly
as well. This is the third month in a row that the two measures correlate directionally. Note that Broken Auto
Glass reported is generally after the fact and represents presumed Auto Break Ins while Auto Break Ins are
confirmed and often involve an engagement with the vehicle owner.

4. Problematic Behavior reports were up slightly MOM.

5. Suspicious Behavior and Public Disturbance reports were down MOM.

6. Reports of Vandalism were up sharply MOM.
